A relative, who asked to remain anonymous, took KOAT Action 7 News to their back yard, where they buried the 3-month-old Chihuahua. The family had to dig it up and turn the remains over to animal control.

"It hurts you know, it hurts," she said, with tears in her eyes. "The puppy died in my arms. (It was) innocent."

Police said Marshall Aragon, 45, told them, he grabbed the puppy by the neck, and squeezed it until it stopped moving. Then he blew in the puppy's mouth and revived it.

Investigators also said Aragon told them, "All I saw was red and I did it."

According to the criminal complaint, Aragon attacked the puppy because it had been chewing on his couch.

"Puppies chew on things," said the relative. "Puppies pee on things. You gotta teach them. You don't kill them."

Aragon lives on Gatewood Avenue SW, and so do his relatives.

They said the puppy had a broken leg, broken neck and believe it's organs burst.

His daughter called police, and this relative has strong words for him.

"I just think it's terrible, and you need to pay for what you do," said the relative.

KOAT Action 7 News went to the city's Eastside Animal Shelter to get a sense of just how small a three-month old Chihuahua is. The fragile animal weighed in at just over four pounds.

Marshall Aragon is 5 feet, 3 inches and weighs 250 pounds. He is now facing the felony charge of extreme animal cruelty.

Police said Aragon told them he has anger issues, and he was mad when he killed the dog.
